I am having trouble getting a measure to work. I have two measures that I am trying to get to work together. The first calculates the maximum value in a column (which will tell me the month #). And then the second measure is supposed to sum a column for all values <= to the maximum month value (that will tell me the current reporting month.) Here are my measures...


This measure returns the # "1"

Current Report Month:=CALCULATE(
MAX(CapitalReportData[PERIOD]),
FILTER(CapitalReportData,CapitalReportData[COST TYPE]="PO")
)



This measure is returning "0"...


YTD Budget:=CALCULATE(
SUM(CapitalReportData[FY BUD]),
FILTER(CapitalReportData,CapitalReportData[PERIOD]<=[Current Report Month])
)



When I re-write the 2nd measure as follows, I get the correct value....


YTD Budget:=CALCULATE(
SUM(CapitalReportData[FY BUD]),
FILTER(CapitalReportData,CapitalReportData[PERIOD]<=1)
)


So my question is, why won't the "YTD Budget" measure return a value when using the "Current Report Month" measure?

Thanks!
